Observation of Hysteretic Transport Due to Dynamic Nuclear Spin
Polarization in a GaAs Lateral Double Quantum Dot
   [PDF]

We report a new transport feature in a GaAs lateral double quantum dot that emerges only for magnetic field sweeps and shows hysteresis due to dynamic nuclear spin polarization (DNP). This DNP signal appears in the Coulomb blockade regime by virtue of the finite inter-dot tunnel coupling and originates from the crossing between ground levels of the spin triplet and singlet extensively used for nuclear spin manipulations in pulsed gate experiments. The unexpectedly large signal intensity is suggestive of unbalanced DNP between the two dots, which opens up the possibility of controlling electron and nuclear spin states via DC transport.
